This week we're reading "The Surfer" by Australian poet and environmental activist Judith Wright.
In this episode, we take a realistic look at surfing Biarritz: its history, famous breaks, extreme tide sensitivity, and why it can feel welcoming and overwhelming at the same time. A practical guide to crowds, conditions, and who Biarritz really works for.
In this Hey Zuz, I'm Confused episode, we talk about weight gain, motivation, stress, and why losing the desire to surf isn't about vanity—or failure. Just an honest look at how life, bodies, and surfing intersect, and why this kind of surf funk doesn't have to be permanent.
In this surf news roundup, we talk about a surf therapy charity supporting a record number of young people, a startup betting on 3D-printed surfboards, a sharp essay asking whether surfing is actually progressing at all, and the latest blow in Munich's long-running battle to save its iconic river wave.
In this episode, we break down the board, the man behind it, and how Bob Simmons quietly shaped modern surfboard design. And why no one really liked him.
In this episode, we look at why shark stories suddenly feel everywhere, what the data actually says about risk, and how phones, social media, and coastal crowding fuel our collective Sharknado anxiety. The ocean is not out to get you, but your algorithm might be.
In this episode, we talk about why surf progress isn't linear, why social media is a terrible surf coach, and why the one thing that actually works is also the hardest to do. Here's to your surf goals in 2026!
The final Holiday Surf Snack #14 closes with a Sunday Surf Poem from the early '60s that captures why it's so easy to fall in love with surfing.
Our Holiday Surf Snack #13 is all about surfers' ultimate bucket list waves. What's yours?
Holiday Surf Snack #12 in the style of Hey Zuz, I'm confused—what if you didn't surf last year?—and why that doesn't mean anything about the future.
In our Holiday Surf Snack #11, we share beginner "wisdom" from big wave rider Laird Hamilton on what it really takes to start surfing. And when we say "wisdom", we mean "some uncomfortable truths".
A New Year's Eve Surf Snack #10 questioning the idea that beginners should only wear black wetsuits—and what color psychology might actually have to do with surfing.
Holiday Surf Snack #9 is exploring surfboard tail shapes, where their names come from, and how tails affect speed, hold, and turning.
Holiday Surf Snack #8 with a deliberately short list of must-read surf books, because you should probably just go surfing instead.
Holiday Surf Snack #6 is on the biggest waves ever surfed, why no one agrees on the numbers, and why Nazaré keeps rewriting the record books.
A Boxing Day Surf Snack #5 in the style of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, testing your surf trivia knowledge from goofy foot to Teahupoʻo. A lot of Teahupoʻo.
A festive Holiday Surf Snack #4 on Makahiki, the ancient Hawaiian season of peace and abundance that quietly overlaps with Christmas.
A rapid-fire Holiday Surf Snack #3 is packed with ocean facts, surf history, surf trivia, and just enough "wisdom" to make you the most fascinating person at the Christmas party.
Holiday Surf Snack #2 is a quick walk through my favorite picks from the Wee Surf Shoppe—for last-minute gifting, browsing, or pure surf-stuff inspiration.
Holiday Surf Snack #1 is a quick, festive thought experiment: if you could wish for one surf-related gift this season, what would it be?
